Will you marry me?

Hye-Jin and Ji-Won returned to his apartment, the air heavy with unspoken tension. Hye-Jin went straight to the kitchen, her movements brisk and purposeful as she began unpacking the groceries. Ji-Won followed after her, his concern growing with each second that passed in silence.

He stood behind her, watching her with a mix of worry and confusion. "Hye-Jin," Ji-Won started softly, his voice filled with genuine concern. "What's wrong? Why did you walk away like that? And why won't you talk to me?"

Hye-Jin continued to unpack the shopping bags, her back still turned towards him. She remained silent, her jaw clenched in an effort to hold back the emotions threatening to spill over.

Ji-Won's worry deepened. "Did I do something to upset you?" he asked tentatively, his heart sinking at the thought that he might have inadvertently hurt her. "Please, Hye-Jin, talk to me."

Still no response from Hye-Jin. The silence stretched between them, heavy and uncomfortable.
